I just sat through my entire 1 hour and 50 minutes pre-calc class picking at my lips. It didn't matter that the professor was looking at me. It didn't matter that I sit at the front table to the side and I know most people in the front could see me.
All that mattered was that I needed to pick. And I couldn't stop.
Oh, and bonus. How did I handle the anxiety of getting ready to make a huge presentation at a huge meeting today? Picking. Yep, in front of the Director of Residency Programmes, in front of the Director of Nursing, in front of many directors.
Go me.
Sweetie... hang in there. You've gotten through a lot in the last year, so it may be like stress migraines... they don't hit when the stress is there but rather when it eases off a bit... I have faith that you've come so far that you can make it through this too.
ReplyDeleteDistraction. That's how I handle my OCD. Which I have. Seriously.
